Trois mystères tibétains

Représentations théâtrales dans les monastères du Tibet

This volume contains Tibetan plays which are often performed in Tibetan monasteries. In front of spectators who came from far away, the actors do not represent life itself, but rather their ideal of life. The theme is the impermanence of things, and the audience is made up of a group of nomads who disappear as soon as the performance is over.
